South Carolina white men profess to be
very much alarmed lest the negroes will
swoop down upon them and put them to the
sword. What there is to occasion this fear.
II anything, does not appear further than
that the colored men in some localities are
organizing trades unions. Trades unions.
composed of whites exist all ever the coun-
try, but nobody ever thought when white
laborers organized secret society to pro-
tect their labor and increase the compensa-
ton Tor 1t, that the peace of the State was in
jeopardy, and that an exigency had arisen
sufficient to justify the calling out of the
militia. Are colored men organized into
trade union so much more dangerous than
white men banded together in the same way
as 10 justify the fears that are finding
vent in the South Carolina press? The past
history of the race does not seem to indicate
that it is bloodthirsty or revengeful one.
The colored men of South Carolina have
seen themselves deprived Of their political
rights by force and fraud, and though they
exceed the whites in numbers they have Of
fered very little resistance. They have been
cheated, intimidated, beaten and frequently
shot when they have undertaken to exercise
their rights conferred upon them by Con-
gress and have submitted for the most part
in silence.
Yet the South Carolina press would have
the country believe that the negro has sud-
denly become blood thirsty and revengeful
and is preparing to avenge himself on the
whites for the prosecutions he has suffered
in the past; that under the guise of trades
union he is organizing conspiracy to mas
sacre white men as he was massacred some
years ago by the whites at Hamburg But
the thing is so improbable that nothing but
the strongest proof will produce conviction,
and of proof at the present time there is
nothing except the fact that the negroes are
joining trades unions If the fears of the
whites are genuine, which is very doubtful,
they are the result much more of their own
guilty consciences than Of any act Of the ne
groes. IL they are pretended, as is most
likely, then of course the pretense is for
purpose. What that purpose is can easily be
guessed. Organized into trades unions the
negro may be able to command fair COM
pensatlon for his labor and TO compel his
White employers to pay it; in other words
ne may be able to abridge the white mans
right to cheat him out of his labor as he has
cheated him out of his vote. Hence these
unions must be broken up. The plea for do
ing so, that they are conspiracies against
the peace, is the same one which used to be

the matter of grand jury, promising ade-

as posse commitatus whenever summoned
by the sheriff to execute the process of any
court. and when warrants of arrest are
placed in our hands we agree to bring the
parties accused to the bar of the court, alive
If possible, dead if necessary" Before ad-
journing, the citizens organized permanent

the roll. Some fear is still felt of an at
tempt on the part of Tolliver's connections

sion is that the war is over, at least until the
juvenile Tollivers who escaped get big

The New York legislature during its ses-
sion passed two laws that ought to have a
very excellent result in the saving of human
life. Stoves were prohibited in railroad cars
after certain date, and fire escape bill,
which Governor Hill has just signed, was
passed. The bill requires all hotels except
those that are fire-proof to provide each
sleeping room above the first floor with a
rope reaching to the ground as fire escape
While rope may not be the best means of
getting out of the fifth or sixth story of a
burning hotel, it will be better than nothing.
The rope, however, should not supersede
other fire escapes.

Maine State Society for the Prevention of
cruelty to Animals is what they call the as
ISOLATION of good men and women who re-
ceiyed acharter from the last legislature,
and are ready to begin their campaign
against horse beaters and other prosecutors
of dumb animals. The great seal of the as
ISOLATION is of avery appropriate design: An
angel with sword interfering to stop a
brute who is beating an overloaded horse
with cudgel. One of the articles of the
constitution states that the seal is the same
another of the Massachusetts and other State
societies changed only to adapt it to the State
of Maine.

1t is quite evident from the way in which
the Rev. Dr. McGlynn is attacking what he
calls the Roman Catholic machine that he
has no expectation of connecting himself
with the machine again. His last assertion
is that the church is striving after political
power in this country, and that with this end
in view the Pope has meditated for some time

Certainly the "world do move" Six
judges and clerks of elections in Baltimore
have just been sent to prison for two years
for election frauds. Baltimore is the stamp
ing ground of Senator German, and free
and fair election has been unknown there for
many years. The "boys" had control not
only of the election machinery, but also to a
large extent of the judicial machinery, and
felt perfectly secure. Bribery, open and
shameless, intimidation, ballot box stuifing,
and false counting had come to be the con-
comitants OF every election. When reform
league was formed to put an end to these
practices the bosses and the boys were filled
with amusement Their hilarity. however
long ago came to an end, and now some of
them are feeling very solemn indeed.

JEFF Davis has once more obtruded his
opinion OF the battle flags matter upon the
country He takes occasion to say in the
course Of his remarks that the principle the
South fought for has not .been surrendered
The principle was the right of State to
withdraw from the Union when it saw fit.
If the South has not surrendered that prin-
ciple, then its spirit is still rebellious JEFF
Dayis's opinion on this or any other matter
would be Of very little account, did not
great deal of evidence exist to show that he
is to-day the most popular man at the South.
When man- whom the South delights to
honor, whom it cheers louder than ANYBODY
else, declares that the South has not surren-
dered the principle of secession, suspicion
must necessarily arise that the people Of
that section have not yet been fully regener

new and enlarged edition of Mrs. John
Sherwood's little volume entitled Manners
and Social Usages has just been issued by
the publishers. 1t is written by one who
has large knowledge of the usages of good
society and who recognizes the fact thata
consideration for the feelings of others un-
derlies all social rules Formal rules are
necessary in the intercourse of all civilized
communities, and fashion has much to do
with their enactment, but good manners are
generally the result of good breeding and
as the author says, ''the outcropping of a
well regulated mind and of a good heart"
Nobody is, or can afford to be, superior to
The polite conventionalities of life, which
this little volume discusses in bright and

The Story Of Metlakahtla, by Henry S.
Welcome, is curious and interesting histo-
ry Of tribe of Indians. cruel, cannibalistic
and bloodthirsty, who have been converted
to Christianity by Mr.. William Duncan. He
has educated and civilized them, having
found them of unusual intelligence and quite
capable of cultivation. This people only
thirty years ago consisted of some of the
most ferocious Indian tribes of our CONT
nent, says Mr.. Welcome. They were given
up to constant warfare and most hideous
practices. Mr.. Duncan, lay missionary.
began, single handed, work among them,
teaching them peaceful industries. Thus in
single generation these British Columbia
cannlbals have become wonderfully trans
formed, and model self-supporting village,
community of one thousand souls, has been
formed Mr.. Welcome is authority for the
statement that the Church of England Mis-
sionary Society has attempted to destroy the
independence of the Metlakahtlans and com
pei them to surrender to its dictation; and
failing in this has induced the government to
seize the Indians land and hand it over to
the Society Despairing of justice in their
own country, Mr.. Duncan is empowered to
treat with the government at Washington
for homestead land in Alaska, whittier they
may remove, reestablish their Industries, and
secure to their children full right and title to
their possessions. Mr.. Welcomes volume
is written for the purpose of enlisting public
sympathy and placing the story of the
wrongs of the Metlakahtlans before the
American people. One must be allowed to
doubt the fairness of the statements in re-
gard to the persecution of this people by the
High Church emissaries," but the volume
contains much interesting information, and
there is something to be said in favor of the
simple form of Christian worship which
these aborigines have been taught and wish
to continue to practice. london and New

The Alkahest or The House of Claes, by
Honore de Balzac. The above adds another
volume to the valuable series of translations
from this author which we owe to the enter
prise of this well known Boston House. The
scene of the story is laid at Donai, in French
Flanders, and gives graphic description of
Flemish family life in the early part of the
present century. The story is sad one, as
it details the disastrous effects upon the hap
piness and fortunes of the family of Claes
resulting from the devotion of the master
of the house to alchemistic experiment and
study. In his search for the chemical abso-
Lutte he forgets all his duties as father and
husband, accepts the sacrifices of a devoted
wife who dies victim of his misplaced de-
votion to science, and brings his family to
want by prodigal wasting of ancestral re-
sources. Through the firmness of his eldest
daughter, Marguerite, who takes charge of
the household, the disaster is arrested and
the fortunes of the house finally restored
No cure, however, is effected in the fathers
malady who dies victim to the fatal search
for the philosophers stone. The picture of
filial devotion, unrepining self sacrifice and
heroic struggle with adversely is portrayed
with the living realism which characterizes
Balzac's works. Boston: Roberts Brothers;

The Story of Alexander's Empire by Prof.
John Pentland Mahaffy, with the collabora-
ton of Arthur Gilman. In this little volume
the author has told in brief but graphic
way the history of the different portions of
the empire founded by the great Macedoni-
an as it was divided up after his death. 1t
Is not strange that no single successor was
equal to the task of holding this vast empire
together, but while it rapidly disintegrated
the impress of Alexander's genius was long
felt as powerful influence affecting the
course of its history. He set on foot move
ments which profoundly changed the condi-
ton of the Hellenic world and of the Orient
al nations which came under his sway Al
though the remnants of his empire were fin
ally conquered and absorbed by Rome, yet
the conquerors had to submit to the spell of
Hellenic civilization which finally modified
roman Thought and institutions. The chap
ters which touch on Greek philosophy, liter
azure and art, are not the least interesting in
the book, and in them Prof, Mahaffy ap-
pears at his best. The plans, maps and IL
lustrations are excellent, and the value of
the book is enhanced by good index. New

School Tactics is the title of valuable
manual for schools and gymnastic associa-
tions, edited by William A. Stecher, who
having conducted English classes in gymnas-
tics during number Of years in schools and
seminaries has found that there were no
books which offered to teacher those move
ments with commands, which are necessary
to move body of children or adults into the
positions for gymnastics in schools" Hence
Mr.. Stecher has endeavored to arrange such
tactics as are necessary, and he now pre-
sents them in book form, with excellent dia-
grams, for the assistance of teachers of gym
nastics. The book is written and published
in Cincinnati, Ohio.
